    Does any one know or has anyone looked at the wire harness for the turn signal/wiper switch on the steering column to see what colors the left/right turn signal wires are?

    I am wiring my rgb halos to also function with the switchback, but, tapping it into the parking/turn signal wire on the headlights makes the halo stay on a constant orange color because of the drl light....make sense?....then just blinks orange on and off when activated.... So I want to tie into the wire harness for the turn/wiper switch and into the left/right wires only (no drl) but I don't know what colors they'd be or if I could do so. If not I thought of running longer wire to the trailer harness and tapping into that or the taillights...any suggestions? Maybe @mesojdm ?

    The wires on the turn select switch complete the turning circuit to ground. As in an ON or OFF source. To use the rear turn signals as source, the plug to that long harness is in the engine fuse box, no need to make a pair of wires going all the way to the rear of the vehicle.

    @caribe makaira Ahhh…...hmm so just match the same colored wire for the rear turns up to the harness by the fuse box then? Should be the same I'm assuming.
